Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Isleward has been in development as a hobby project since 2016. Releasing on Steam marks our intent to increase our efforts and we want to involve not only our community but Steam at large to help us get it right.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect to be in Early Access for at least a year.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Over the course of Early Access, we plan to add more open world maps, more dungeons, and more ways of crafting items. We're also planning to refactor and refine the user interface and to add more music and sound effects, especially to combat.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Many of the core mechanics of Isleward are fully implemented and the game is already quite feature-rich, with three large open world maps, several public and instanced dungeons, a crew (guild) system, crafting and seasonal events. While there is sound and music in the game, there are currently no combat-related sound effects.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No, Isleward is free to play and will remain free to play after it leaves Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We have an active Discord server where our players can give feedback and we also occasionally run tests in a separate testing environment where the community can help us catch bugs and fine-tune features.”

About This Game

Isleward title logo

Isleward is a free-to-play Roguelike MMORPG with a strong focus on player interaction, community, and loot.

Set sail from the starting island of Fjolarok and explore the vast world of Isleward. Delve through dungeons, take on challenging world bosses and dynamic events, or kick back by the sea shore, catching fish.

Isleward is a living game with a vibrant community, seasonal events to look forward to every few months, and more content, small and large, being released in-between.

Participate in Leagues to shake up the rules of the game and get a fresh start with some additional challenge.

When you create a character, you first choose your guardian animal Spirit. Will you pick the mighty Bear, a spirit fit for a warrior? Or perhaps the agile Lynx is more to your liking? If you are the spellcasting type, the Owl will suit you nicely!

Your choice of Spirit determines your starting point on the large passive skill tree. As you level-up, you gain points to spend on the tree, to take your character in the direction and playstyle you desire.

Your playstyle is also influenced by Runes, items that grant you the ability to use skills and cast spells when equipped. As you get stronger, you will be able to slay more challenging enemies, and even bosses, obtaining more gear and runes in the process.

Powerful Idols are scattered across the land, waiting to be found and used to further enhance and perfect your equipment.

Isleward features a thriving player-driven economy. If your loot isn’t to your liking, it might be just what another adventurer needs, so why not trade it for new gear or Idols?

Trading isn't the only way to be a part of the community. Spar with other players to make long-lasting enemies, group up with others to make clearing dungeons easier and form or join Crews for those longer-lasting friendships.

The community extends beyond the game and Discord. Isleward runs on a custom open-source engine built by its creators. Both the engine and the game have been in development since 2016. Being open-source, anyone can contribute and help shape it toward its full potential.
